2014/35/EU
2014/30/EU
2009/125/EC
2011/65/EU

This equipment is labeled in compliance with the European Directive 2012/19/EC on waste electric and electronic equipment – WEEE. The Directive specifies the requirements for collection and management of waste electric and electronic equipment effective in the entire European Union.

CHARGING THE APPLIANCE

Charge the appliance for at least 12 hours before first use. For every subsequent charge, charge it for approximately 6 hours.
Note: When the battery is full, the red signal light on the appliance will turn green.
Tip: If you do not intend to use the appliance for a long period of time, disconnect the adapter from the power outlet to save energy.
To charge the vacuum cleaner, place it on the charging unit and connect the adapter to a power outlet.
The charge indicator will be lit as long as the appliance is placed on the charging unit.
Note: The charge indicator does not indicate how full the vacuum cleaner battery is.
Note: Make sure you place the vacuum cleaner correctly onto the charging unit. The charge indicator will light up.

USING AND CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

To switch on the appliance, push the on/off switch forward.
To switch off the vacuum cleaner, push the on/off switch backward.
Place the desired attachment onto the appliance nozzle. The narrow nozzle attachment is suitable for cleaning corners and narrow slots or grooves. The brush attachment is suitable for cleaning delicate surfaces. The soft rubber attachment is suitable for vacuuming liquids. The pet hair attachment is suitable for vacuuming hair from sofas and other upholstered furniture.
If there is liquid in the dust/liquid bin, always hold the appliance pointing downwards (i.e. with the handle part up).
Important: Make sure the liquid level never exceeds the maximum marking on the dust/liquid bin.
After each use, empty the dust/liquid bin and clean the dust filter. Appliance suction power depends on how clean the filter is. The appliance will operate better if the filter is cleaned regularly.
First, remove the bin from the vacuum cleaner housing by pressing the bin release button.
Then, remove the plastic cover in front of the filter.
If the filter is very dirty, clean it with a brush or a conventional vacuum cleaner.
Note: If necessary, the filter can be cleaned in cold or lukewarm water. In this case, however, make sure it is dried thoroughly before the next use.
Note: We recommend replacing the filter after a long period of use or when it can no longer be cleaned.
Note: Make sure the filter unit is correctly positioned and inserted. Also, pay attention to the rubber gasket on the filter. If the filter is not placed correctly, the appliance cannot be assembled correctly.

ENVIRONMENT
At the end of the appliance’s useful life, do not discard it with common household waste. Take it to an authorized recycling center. This will help preserve the environment.
